PUBLIC:

I met with all three partners recently, and found them to be very helpful. Their candor and insight was very constructive, and has helped our plans. We do not seek funding from VC firms on our first visit. Our approach is to get to know them first, to see what value they can add in building our company. I came away with a clear sense that IDG Ventures SF would be a strong addition to any round we might put together in the next few months. They know the social media space very well, and they have realistic expectactions about exit paths in the current environment.
